New Yorker cover by J.C. Duffy cartoon prelim

Original rough sketch by J.C. Duffy (New Yorker cartoonist and creator of The Fusco Brothers comic strip). This cartoon is from his 2014 sketch book. It was submitted to the New Yorker and accepted. Then he drew the finished version (seen below) which was published that year in The New Yorker magazine. Later in the year they used the cartoon as the cover of their annual "Cartoons of the Year" book 2014 edition (also seen below). The finished original is in the possession of the New Yorker.
